That amazing game last night was supposed to be televised. Jumbo was to broadcast it and it was going to be carried by Comcast Sports and available to millions. CSS website showed LSU-USM even yesterday but played an old re-run instead.

I hope Jumbo sports is kicking themselves today. That game would have been huge for them. A game like that would have created new fans and gotten the word out to advertisers. That was an outstanding college baseball game that we all had to watch on gametracker and TD.

Can someone here findout what happened...why the last minute bail?

This game had been scheduled to be produced by Jumbo Sports about as long as the schedule was released. About 10 days ago, it was taken off the schedule. I wondered what happened, so I called LSU SID. The lady I spoke with did not know, but she said I should get in touch with Bill Franquez. I tried calling him a couple of times. I left him a voice mail, but he never returned my call. Every other time I called him, I got his voice mail. The other day, someone posted that someone in the LSU Athletic Dept. said "Jumbo couldn't work out the logistics."
Ronnie Rantz really dropped the ball on this one.
